[sc:NCAA240banner ]The Wildcats remained unblemished in conference play (5-0 in Big 12) after annihilating the Oklahoma State Cowboys, 48-14. It won’t be that easy for the Wildcats next week, though, when they meet the TCU Horned Frogs, who are hot on their heels with a 4-1 conference record. Riding their hyped rushing attack, the Frogs were able to carve out a close 31-30 win over the West Virginia Mountaineers in Week 10. TCU is averaging 214.1 rushing yards per game. Its backfield will be tested heavily by the Wildcats’ defense against the rush that limits opponents to just 101 yards per outing.

Writer’s prediction: TCU wins, 35-27.

Baylor Bears vs. Oklahoma Sooners (Saturday, November 8)

A real challenge for the Aggies awaits them this Saturday a week after snacking on a mediocre Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks team, whom they defeated in Week 10, 21-16. With Kenny Hill suspended, backup quarterback and freshman Kyle Allen will find himself starting against the Tigers, who are coming off a thrilling 35-31 win over then no. 4 Ole Miss Rebels.

Line: Alabama Crimson Tide at LSU Tigers – view all NCAA Football lines

Alabama is on the outside looking in for a CFP top four spot. They may be able to impress Condoleezza Rice and the rest of the selection committee enough to get inside it if they can deal Les Miles’ LSU a decisive loss at Death Valley. It’s going to be easier said than done, however, as the Tigers seemed to have found their groove, stringing together three-straight wins, including a 10-7 victory over Ole Miss that brought the Tigers back into the Top 25 picture. Click here for a detailed breakdown of this matchup.

Writer’s prediction: Alabama wins, 27-13.

Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Michigan State Spartans (Saturday, November 8, 8:00 PM ET)

Line: Ohio State Buckeyes at Michigan State Spartans – view all NCAA Football lines

Last year, Michigan State derailed the Buckeyes’ BCS bid with a Big Ten title game win over their conference rivals. Ohio State looks to return the favor this time around as they trek to East Lansing for a highly anticipated showdown with the no. 8 Spartans. The Buckeyes are 8-2 in their last 10 games against Michigan State, while the Spartans are 10-0 in their last 10 games as the home team. See our preview of that game for more.

Writer’s prediction: Michigan State wins, 38-31
